Angus is taking a sabbatical to be with his young family

Does your MP/MSP/Councillor/candidate know what a blog is??
Answers by snail-mail to your elected representatives.
I don't want my Council tax spent supporting a blog for an elected member who can't/won't maintain it.
Some walk their wards; some rely on press releases; I blog. Voters may prefer one way to another, but I don't see why the Council Tax should fund it. Your expenses are (mostly) tax deductible anyway.
Some bloggers can go so far as to inflate their own pole numbers.
ReplyDeleteAre you employing Poles now Angus? Is anon a tax inspector? Are you paying the minimum wage to our eastern european friends?
